Yes, Greg Smith gave the Twitterverse the equivalent of a financial Red Bull Wednesday morning, as he detailed what he describes as the erosion of the firm's culture over his 12-year tenure. Once, he says, Goldman Sachs was a place that cared about client success, and now it is little more than a profit-center that wants to rip those same clients off. As an aside, Smith inexplicably didn't know where the bathroom was when he was first starting out at Goldman.

Though Smith's Op-Ed gives evidence what some have long said about Goldman -- cue links to Taibbi's Vampire Squid article, basically all Occupy Wall Street coverage and parody twitter GS Elevator -- the famed investment bank is notoriously private, so don't expect a flood of similar outcry.
